The Intercontinental Cup (known as the Hero Intercontinental Cup for sponsorship reasons) is a 4-nations football tournament organised by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). It was launched in 2018, as a replacement for Nehru Cup with the first edition held as the 2018 Intercontinental Cup (India).[1][2][3] The tournament was organized by the AIFF as part of the senior men team's preparation for the third round of 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification matches and for the Asian Cup itself.[3] The tournament naming rights were purchased by Hero MotoCorp which also sponsors the national team.[4] The tournament succeeded the Nehru Cup and developed post the Tri-Nation Series, where the then Indian head coach at that time, Stephen Constantine revealed that the intention was to hold a 4-team tournament with India competing against teams from the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia.[5]

The first edition held in 2018 was won by India,[6] while the next edition held in 2019 was won by North Korea.[7][8][9]
